Top tip: always start by “wedging the clay”. That’s to slam it on the table at different angles. This gets all the air bubbles out, even if you’re using seconds, thirds, etc. You should also do it with new clay, because it also gives a smooth texture to the clay, and warms it up so its easier to work with. And then there is no need to poke holes into your product either.

this video is probably the most beautiful YouTube video ive ever watched, thank you so much for the lesson. Your pottery is beautiful.

Lol that thumbnail made me think you were making ceramic pancakes

It doesn't explicitly say in the video but washing the dried clay off your work surface is really important. Dry clay dust in dangerous to inhale so always wet down and wipe up your tables and boards.

Imagine following this tutorial and then getting up to the stage where you need to fire it lmaooo

Beautiful editing and story telling! From a ceramist to another, this is so peaceful and wholesome to watch

[natchosm]

As a potter, this is a great simple way to make pottery. Hand building like this is super simple and I highly reccomend this to beginners

[miasqueak]

You’re videos are so satisfying to watch and everything you make is so beautiful! It’s also motivating me to start up making plant pots again☺️

[monicaperez]

Im so happy I found your channel. I recently started making my own ceramics at home and was looking for tips on Youtube and you hoped up! Love your pieces!

[Cardangiels]

Almost I got the idea I can make this at home...until the firing :(. Does the glaze is food safe?

[franzi]

your ceramics are gorgeous, thanks so much for showing the whole process, so interesting! also your editing is always so perfect, just discovered your channel recently but I love it! xx

[AuthenticallyAmi]

this video was soooo relaxing to watch wow you're incredible talented and i am sooo excited for your next drop xx

Cool video, but I got a bit worried when I saw you cleaned the wood board directly in the sink. If you just put water with clay down the sink it will eventually clog your pipes. It's better to keep the dirty water in a jar - after some time, the clay goes down (decantation) and you can even reuse it! But if other particles got in the clay and it got dirty or you just don't want to reuse it, it's better to just throw it in the trash.

[I'm not an expert at clay and ceramics, but I thought it would be good to share this information]

[darcymckenziie]
